"Phillis Wheatley: Young Revolutionary Poet" by Kathryn Kilby Borland tells the inspiring story of Phillis Wheatley, an enslaved African girl who becomes the first published Black female poet in America. Captured and brought to Boston in the 18th century, Phillis's remarkable intellect and talent for poetry blossomed under her owners' encouragement. Her work reflects her experiences, the struggle for freedom, and the values of her time, including equality and justice. As she navigates the complexities of race and society, Wheatley becomes a voice for the oppressed and an influential figure in the fight for liberation and human rights.
